Power Outage

If your power should go out, find out if neighboring homes still have electric service. If they still have power, check your fuse box or circuit breaker panel. If a fuse is blown, or a circuit breaker is open, turn off the lights and appliances on the circuit. This will help prevent damage to your appliances and your electrical system as well. Then replace the fuse with the correct amperage for the circuit or turn on the breaker. If a fuse continues to blow or the breaker continues to open, call an electrician to find and repair the problem.

When the electric outage is not confined to your home, disconnect or turn off as many electrical appliances and lights as possible. This will help protect your equipment and reduce the initial demand for electricity when the power is reconnected. Leave one light switch to the “on” position so you can tell when power is restored. Then you can reconnect appliances one at a time.

Call Montana-Dakota Utilities to report any outage not confined to your home unless you know a neighbor has already reported it. Call us at 800-638-3278.
